Lou Camera
Catalogued June 2026
The Lou is Saint Laurent's compact camera bag, a slim quilted crossbody with a boxy shape, a zip top, and the metal Cassandre YSL logo on the front. Worn on a long adjustable strap, it is one of the house's most accessible everyday leather bags under Anthony Vaccarello. Our sourcing on its exact debut year is thin, so we leave it unset rather than guess. Do not confuse it with the larger chain-strap LouLou, which is a separate model.
